Okay, to clarify: At this point, do the Dons know the identity of the Rat who's reporting to them? That is, does Don Mith know who will be feeding her information from the Red team, and Don Beguile's know who will be feeding her info from the Blues?

Answer: Maybe. I left it entirely up to the Rats whether they want to reveal their identities to their Dons (or anyone else, for that matter). I did this on purpose, so if the Dons end up voting for the Rat who is supposed to be feeding her information, the Rat will have no one to blame but him/herself.

Quick question on the, er, bodyguard role. Since they, er, can save someone after the vote, do they sacrifice themselves? In other words, they are killed in place of the thug that got the most votes from the opposition?

As DudelRok said, the bodyguards have nothing to do with the enemy team's vote. Their function is basically to foil the opposing team's assassin. I.e. if the Assassin and the Bodyguard choose the same target, that person (who otherwise would have died) is saved. And no, the bodyguards do not sacrifice themselves in the process.

Once again, to make it clear, if the Bodyguard chooses the same target as the rival family's vote, that person still dies (it's the Capo's job to protect people from the vote). However, if the Bodyguard chooses the same target as the rival Assassin (which can include the Don), the target is saved.

And no, Lord Mayerling, you don't. *pat pat* If it's any consolation, Beguile's started out exactly the same way, being eliminated in the first or second day of whichever game she was in. And now look at her! She's the Don!
